Tour Parking

Use address 1563 Appleton Road, Elkton, MD 21921.  Follow the tour parking signs, as this is where the tour begins and ends.  Do not park in the Farm Market parking lot or you will be late and possibly miss your tour. Follow the gravel lane at the address above and you will see the red tour check-in shed. ALL vehicles are required to park in the designated tour parking area, NOT the farm market parking lot.

Cancellation Policy

If for any reason you need to cancel (personal reason, inclement weather, etc.), please email us 24 hours in advance. Cancellations within 24 hours require a phone call to the Events coordinator at 410-398-1349. We will gladly work with you to try to reschedule your group for a later date. 

There is a flat $25 cancellation fee once your reservation has been confirmed. Note to Schools: if you cancel your reservation without re-scheduling, you/your school will be responsible for the cancellation fee. If we cancel your tour due to inclement weather, there will be no cancellation fee. Otherwise, the full amount will be due for a same day cancellation. There are no refunds for “no shows.”
